The mother shared her easy-to-remember defence tactics by using the acronym ASAP first
A – ATTRACT ATTENTION
She explained using our voice as an ‘alarm’ fends off the attacker.
S – SEND A CLEAR VOCAL MESSAGE
To get instant attention, Tiffiny said simply yelling out ‘help!” would allow people to know you are in danger.
A – ACT, DON’T FREEZE
She urged not to freeze in these situation because you may have just seconds to act.
P – POWER
Tiffiny said it was important to breathe out so you are ‘not winded as you strike’ and allow yourself a chance to think.
‘Create a spectacle. Make some noise. Show the attacker you are tough and brave, full of power and strength,’ she said.
And if these moves still don’t get you out of danger, she revealed other strategies to follow so you can defend yourself.

She advised to use a ‘hard weapon’ on your body such as an elbow, fist, heel or knee to hit a soft target on the attacker’s body groin, eyes or throat
She advised using a ‘hard weapon’ on your body such as an elbow, fist, heel or knee to hit a soft target on the attacker’s body groin, eyes or throat.
‘A finger to the eye is a hard weapon to soft target, just as effective as stomping your hard heel into the attacker’s soft toes,’ she said.
By putting your hands up in guard position, Tiffiny said this move could indicate to the attacker you have martial arts training, which is not ideal.
‘[This] can ruin the element of surprise and can provoke aggression,’ she said.
She said always throw a punch to the throat instead of the face and kick effectively to the groin.
‘A more effective way of kicking to the groin, is to kick up and under with your straight leg and to strike with your shin,’ she said.
